I cannot speak for the Rogue amps you mention, but my experience has
been nothing but positive.
Magnepans do VERY well with tube amps.
Maggies require a LOT of power; it's almost impossible to provide
too much power; and providing them with adequate power from a tube amp
can get very expensive. You have a big room, so you're going to need
a LOT of amplifier power.
A lot of people utilize a tube preamp and a solid state power amp as a
cost effective alternative. I've no experience with high quality ss
amps, but there are the usual suspects: Ayre, Pass, Boulder, Rowland,
Bryston, and many others. A rogue preamp and the latest Bryston
4B-series amplifier should provide adequate amplification.
Do NOT underpower your maggies. You will regret it.
Good luck. I recommend the 3.7s over the 1.7s for a room your size.
I think you will like what you hear.
